watching your children grow and the issue in wave and say bye daddy as you're walking out of this is just. the second trial came summit ends abruptly with no deal reached as neither side could find common ground over sanctions and the deed of the korean peninsula. facebook is accused of censoring conservative voices as a whistleblower revealed how the social network suppresses content and limits exposure. in the course of doing my duties i noticed other things that were going on accounts i would see it appear in several different conservative papers. and friends sporting goods retail and the capstone is forced to drop plans to sell a sports version of the job in france received threats we get reaction in paris. so she was too worried it took charge. it shocked me and they have to cancel the

sales it's not an act of secularism it's rather and knack and i will not go so far as to say to some of phobic but it's very and. it's ten o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all to international live from our studio with me welcome to the program there were high hopes in the hanoi but both. have come away empty handed from the much anticipated second summit the talks ended earlier than expected with the u.s. president blaming north korea's demands over lifting sanctions for the failure to cut a deal it comes as a surprise to many after the optimism shown by both leaders before the talks.

i think. the first summit was a great success and i think this one hopefully will be equal or greater than the first or he prefers it would say for this. particular version. of the you'll join us in this. i'm going to be the best and. always have to be prepared to walk i could have signed an agreement today and then you people would have said all of what a terrible deal what a terrible thing to do you know you have to be prepared to walk we actually had

papers ready to be side but it just wasn't appropriate i want to do it right i'd much rather do it right than do it fast. the north korean foreign ministry has since issued a statement claiming they did not hold sanctions to be lifted just most of them they also said washington had missed a rare chance reiterating that position on their isolation will not change a corresponding then turn around sums up what became a fleeting second of the summit. talks were cut short because no agreement was made the two were actually supposed to have lunch and have a signing ceremony which never happened bill the reason behind that was because the leader of north korea actually one of the sanctions on pyongyang lifted. what we proposed was not the removal of all sanctions but their partial removal this proposal is the biggest equalization measure we can take at the present stage in

relation to the current level of confidence between the d.p. r. k. and the united states our principles remain invariable and our proposal will never be changed even though the united states proposed for the negotiations in the future basically they wanted these sanctions lifted in their entirety and we couldn't do that. they were willing to do new go large portion of the areas that we wanted but we couldn't give up all of the sanctions for the donald trump said that he could not give up entirely the sanctions that cannot give just whatever the leader wanted so what he said is that it wasn't a good time to actually sign a deal and sometimes that's what great leaders do they just walk away for something to happen later on to potentially get actually get a bit of a better deal and what's interesting also here to point out is that he also mentioned that it's been a productive time between the two but i guess as he also repeatedly repeatedly saying that the deal was made because of the u.n.

sanctions that he didn't agree with now they didn't decide on what's going to happen on the korean peninsula whether they're going to dismantle all the or the nuclear facilities but what he did promise was no missiles will be flying over the korean peninsula in the time being now if there's going to be a third summit that not clearly see if it's going to happen but there was kind of open when that when it was mentioned another interesting factor to point out is that the two leaders of the regional leaders of korea and japan would be very very interesting the on their reactions on how what they have to see the outcome of this deal because if anyone has to lose it's pretty much them to. because scottie now hughes who's also in hanoi he says should have known what was coming. these are demands that are not the first time being presented to the united states this is exactly what i think if anybody would have thought that kim jong un would ask the united states after over fifty years of sanctions being put on north korea and it crippling the infrastructure of north korea right now so this is not this is not

unexplainable or to think that this is what north korea would want i think what we have to look at what happened in the twenty four hour period following the dinner last night in the talks today you know yes president trump does say that you need to walk away and yes he did want a new coordination of the north korean points but just prior to going in he put out a very optimistic tweet that i don't think is getting enough focus he talked about that he needed to help china south korea japan and russia in order to make north korea successful financially and i think you can also say that would be for security purposes as well i think president trump realized in order to accomplish a true honest north korea did nuclearization he was going to have to have the help of those that surrounded the country. transparency group project task has exposed what he claims is a series of tools used by facebook to target politically conservative pages and restrict that content without warning they include as hate speech limiting live

streams and suppressing the reach of post a process known as boosting is the whistleblower behind the claims. handled copyright and trademark claims and in the course of doing my duties i noticed other things that were going on accounts and that is why i came forward i would see it appear on several different conservative pages but what exactly did the former facebook employee find. moral not correspondent. what has been revealed all this whistleblower is alleging to have uncovered four she described as methods of suppression being used by facebook tolls that would d. boost the traffic of accounts considered to be a conservative leaning meaning that their followers would receive notifications whenever these pages these accounts dates their profiles in some cases content was allegedly removed without even letting the users know now this insider who formerly

worked in the intellectual property department of facebook has stumbled across these goings on she said when she noticed some unusual goings on with some accounts first i was wondering whether this is something. i had a couple working theories i was like maybe this is an independent versus mainstream thing maybe independent thinkers on the left are experiencing the same kind of d boosting but i didn't see that i looked at. the young turks page i love that column capper next page none of them had received the same boost but you know she's not the only one that's coming out with similar allegations there's another facebook employee who is exposed how such tools are being applied to certain accounts that facebook deems to be offensive or contain hate speech conservative side of things but that's what your point is that there's a lot of stuff being said on the left that is not involved in these posts it's not

essentially what you see it's all one sided exactly and facebook is targeting certain posts that doesn't particularly like with terms such as offensive in haste these terms of being used broadly things that are actually hate speech but that might. offend somebody. you know anything that is perceived as hateful even though no court would define it as hate speech now if these allegations are proven to be accurate it would be another blow for their facebook name and especially seeing how it contradicts what the c.e.o. mark zuckerberg told congress when he said he didn't want his company acting on the political ideology of content we have reached out to facebook for a comment on these alleged boosting tools they haven't got back to us so far he also said they were going to didn't they after the twenty sixth election so it's conflicting kind of comments from our teams his point would be though how do we

know these claims are actually credible when they're going out into the press it is a whistle blower or how do we know she's telling the truth what we do know that she definitely did work for facebook because although facebook didn't get back to us they did respond to another media outlet who they told. that was she must have been a disgruntled former employee so we know she definitely worked for them and they say that she was fired when they found out she was working with project veritas what she brought out is has been verified that this is happening on the conservative side of things but what we know well it wouldn't be surprising because it's not the first time a social media giant has been outed by project veritas as well last year we had the allegations with twitter when project veritas released undercover first to have twitter employees stuff appearing to admit to silencing conservatives they were saying how they used the algorithms to bury particular tweet was that interview was the worst of them were exactly so users weren't seeing what these

a particular people were posting because they were being buried by these algorithms twitter at the time denied any complicity in the actions of its staff but the most worrying thing here is that it exposes this impression that these social media giants like facebook and twitter that so many of us use pretty much on a daily basis could have political leaning or not has to resist implication. me years ago he would have been that important because it didn't have so much import in the lives of young people there's millions of people becoming voters sixteen eighteen year olds and they put a lot into social media so this is why it's becoming a huge issue and it's we're not going to hear the end of this for some time indeed the power of social media one example of how facebook is clamping down is that it's banned british anti islamic activists tell me about this and from the platform and instagram to. when ideas and opinions cross the line and amount to hate speech that

may create an environment of intimidation and exclusion for certain groups in society in some cases with potentially dangerous offline implications we take action tommy robinson's facebook page has repeatedly broken these standards posting material that uses dehumanizing language and calls for violence targeted at muslims he has also behaved in ways that violate our policies around organized hate. robinson's band fired up his supporters online complaining the move is a politically motivated step to censor free speech others praise the ban for targeting hate speech social media companies in a stepping up efforts to block content that is deemed offensive but there's why disagreement over at what point online policing becomes censorship. it's very clear that if used to join the social media giant company the pages and you set up your own page then you have to abide by their rules and regulations and

when you don't want to you don't tarnish our you know. legitimize the. you know that racism and xenophobia towards just muslims are just innocent acceptable and the fact that you are called out for your hatred should be welcome this is censorship the online world is the new public sphere and it's wrong major corporations like facebook like instagram have the power to remove opinions from public consideration and in drawing attention to what he sees to be the radicalization of britain and i don't agree with his position on that point but i think the really worrying thing is that these arguments about islam are now being pushed out of the public square into a sphere where they're not being challenge to not being considered think that inevitably brings with it certain obligations to stand up and defend freedom of speech well it's not about freedom of speech i mean would freedom of speech comes

responsibility so if you want to criticize and question you slam on muslims then that's ok in a free society and what isn't acceptable is to perpetuate the hatred towards one particular community looking at the crimes of just one particular community and then not expect there to be a reaction so i'm really glad that these social media companies i work or not it's easy for people to now conclude that there is this mission on behalf of social media companies to and censor right wing opinions out of the mainstream you know the significant precedent for this now the idea that facebook is silence in the far right is laughable what facebook is doing is saying if you peddle hate and lies about a community if you tarnish the whole community if you are the key or encourage violence towards that community then action will be taken and that's what's been done i'm not someone of the right but i recognise that that is a real problem because it gives all of these individuals

a chance to say that their arguments are too dangerous to hear and if the public square is good for anything it's good for charlie. being with arguments the more we try and push this on the ground the more those ideas will go unchallenged they'll reach people without interruption they'll meet will be communicated to people without having any contrary point of view put forward and i think that is why certain ship is always so dangerous. and israel is deepening political crisis will see the un security council convene today to vote on rival resolutions from russia and the us washington spent more than a month leading efforts to oust president with favor of opposition leader who declared himself to be venezuela's interim president trying to explain what's up for debate in new york. when we look at u.n. security council resolutions it's important to understand what's in the core what the key priorities are and for the russian one it is the independence and

sovereignty of venezuela and also the condemnation of outside interference now we're ready to give you an exact quote from the russian resolution draft expressing concern over the threats to use force against the territorial integrity and political independence of the boulevard in republican venezuela reiterating the need to fully respect the principles of humanity neutrality and polish honesty and independence for the provision of international assistance besides moscow wants everything to be decided within the u.n. framework it is calling and it wants the u.n. security council to call for peaceful talks involving all sides under the u.n. cause a touche and in moscow is also saying that they will definitely block the american resolution draft which they are calling a mix of demagogue accusatory rhetoric and ultimatums now if you look at what the americans are suggesting the pillars of the u.s.

resolution draft are early fair and democratic elections in venezuela and also an immediate green light for american humanitarian aid deliveries however the even as well in the leadership is saying that they believe the only reason why the americans are trying to squeeze in there is to find a pretext for a military intervention and they're also worried that apart from the humanitarian aid the americans are trying to sneak in some sort of equipment or possibly even weapons to fuel violent unrest in the country these kind of concerns are being shared by moscow while caracas though is ready to accept humanitarian aid they're saying from the red cross and the you as well it looks like we are heading for another two. session at the u.n. security council and another deadlock when the american side will be vetoing the russian resolution and the same is almost certainly going to happen vice

a versa. and it helps in britain of relying on postponing leaving the theater hurdle across the english channel the french president is that going to block britain delaying its departure and less there's a clear objective based on a new choice right the date is just a few weeks away on march the twenty nine you know to do the deal needs for the withdrawal agreement cannot be renegotiated if the british need more time will be able to examine an extension request if that is justified by new choices from the british but we cannot in any case accept an extension without a clear perspective from the pursuit objective is our negotiator michel barnier said we don't need time above all we need decisions the time has come for the british to make choices and to offer us what we owe each other as partners friends and allies namely a clear vision a joint project for the future. for britain to extend the withdrawal process known

as article fifty must unanimously agree to it and the french president is not the only one whose patience is wearing thin the spanish prime minister echoed emanuel micron's saying that prolonging uncertainty by perspiring deadlines is neither a reasonable nor desirable alternative the german chancellor was more conciliatory though saying the e.u. won't say no if britain needed more time despite more than two years to get a plan in place for britain's future relationship with you there is still nothing in place primers a trace of me is struggling to get a deal passed and having lost a series of votes if it fails again on march the twelfth she'll give them peace the chance to decide on whether to crash out of the e.u. with no deal or seek to delay the leaving date. well live to brussels and we have a journalist to talk this through in brussels luke thanks for coming on to the program now the wording is a bit vague what do you think he meant by

a clear objective based on a new choice. well based on a new choice he says you know europeans for once are in agreement on this and they are right in a way we should ban is that you know we don't need time we need decisions so the brits should decide they have negotiated for two years they have a deal it is a bit wishy washy the remaining in britain don't like it the prick cities don't like it so mrs may tries to sell it to her parliament in westminster already for some time and she can't and she comes back to brussels to renegotiate but the european say no thank you you have a real reason for renegotiating or for asking three more month no reason so march twenty ninth should be the right date and by the way it wouldn't be that bad if you think of it you know march twenty ninth would be the breaks it becomes reality then

the rules of the world trade organization apply and they have two years to europeans and the u.k. to negotiate a trade deal during which nothing changes so during these coming two years anyway under w t o and the general agreement on tariffs and trade they can negotiate something which is a good deal they can establish. barriers terrace but they don't need to put a thirty five percent tax as the mainstream press says it's not true they can put zero tax and some products for example so that they can still be good friends and if they leave without a deal they don't need to pay the forty five billion euro that europe asks them to pay so it would not be such a bad deal to go that's what nigel farage says now and they will for example on the sixteenth of march walk from sunderland where there is then the same factory from

sunderland to london to ask the members of parliament and westminster to go for the real thing for the breaks it. no deal we leave on march twenty ninth well the issue is though that i'm a can't seem to get people to agree so really how likely is it that france are alone will be the country to actively block any breaks that delay. because that's still a business still on the card. you know of course my core is my core is over the bit and when he says things but i think most europeans are the same for. all of the former president of the european council said it to you nor they have the knife on the throat and they must go they must decide that there is no point in in asking for three more month i mean what will may negotiate with michelle but here during

these months nothing more they will she will come back empty handed she will have another vote if she wants westminster in parliament and she will do so again re soundly so she should stop now or she should stop thinking that she can attain a favorable vote in westminster i think and that's what everybody tells her including the labor party that wants now they say they want a second referendum that would be horrifying you know because fifty two percent of the brits said we want to go you say it would be horrifyingly very quickly how likely is it that that second referendum is going to happen do you think because president micron's remark is likely to help britain's opposition isn't it. i don't think it will happen because labor is not in in a position to impose it should be elections then it's only after elections that thing could be or things could be organized for

a second referendum that would take months so it's best to go either with the deal of mrs may after march twenty ninth they would have two years to negotiate all the world trade or not the organization rules and they would have as well to use ok journalist luke levey in brussels thanks very much for coming on the program to discuss this thanks. a major french sporting goods retailers drop plans to sell a sports version of the hit up in france to kathlyn said it had hoped to build on the successful failed the garment generated rocco. planes why the idea sparked controversy before even reaching the shelves. it's incredible how such a small piece of material can cause such a commotion but here in france that's exactly what's happened over plans by the retailer to care for him to stop a sports version of a hit job a muslim headscarf. as

well as it was pouring over twitter outrage several politicians have called for a boycott of to cast. sport emancipates it does not submit my choice as a woman and a citizen would be to no longer trust a brand that breaks with our values the french health minister has also waded into the debate. it's legal but it's a vision of women that i do not share i think it does not fit well with the values of our country. hearts is a secular country with a hit job as well as the christian cross have been banished from state classrooms and also from government offices no religious symbols outlawed and in fact they were a common sight on the streets of france but many argue that face and body covering garments such as those worn by loosely women are seen as being a method to subjugate them but others including the castle say such items make it

easier for muslim women to take part in activities such as sports. we men should be able to wear whatever they like forbidden the seal disclosed is just ridiculous shocked me and that they have to cancel the sales it's not an act of secularism i will not go so far as to say islamophobia but it's very anti slavic . people should dress according to their own tastes i don't think there's much controversy about this issue. to merit a master's practised so if she was to wear it you know it's her choice but the backlash has been so big that even to castle staff say they have been threatening. our customer service team has received over five hundred calls and e-mails since this morning our teams in our stores have been in solid unfriend and sometimes physically before the product even caught out of the starting blocks the force of

the opposition sort the capital back down it will no longer sell a sports teacher up here but it's a no win situation for the retailer which is also being criticised for pandering to collectively styria that reveals the level of islamophobia here in france show that people ski ati paris right around online activism on e bay and the patrician young from the french national party had their say on the issue. we choose to cover up because it places our body on our terms independent of the male gaze if necessary for us to have different options available for different types of women that'll point is that especially in industries like fashion actually dig up from fully supported their decision to quit the job on the sport he jet on the french market in their stores it was only after there was

a huge public outcry. that crawled back so you know basically has no scruples could become known as a capitalist company they only want to make profits and they were forced they were forced to take the heat off their shelves here in france because of the huge pressure from the public. on news this hour i'll be back around thirty minutes time with more updates but in the meantime say tuned for well the path.

hello and welcome to the part of the world cannot afford to return to the on the restraint nuclear competition of the cold war that was deeply from the u.n. secretary general earlier this week coming after the american decision to pull out from the i.n.f. treaty and russia's roll out of new nuclear weaponry is there reason to be of war it is not about the nukes than about the people who have their coats well to discuss that i'm now joined by john miller a professor of political science at ohio state university and senior fellow at the cato institute in washington professor miller's good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you nice to be here a few months ago you published an article in foreign affairs magazine the other

pretty provoke a tiff tato nuclear weapons don't matter well they seem to matter quite a lot to you and tony a good here is the un secretary general and many other high ranking europeans who seem to be quite concerned about moscow and washington split tonsil new arms race in the europe are they deluded. well they just overly anxious i think they do make a lot of difference in terms of anxieties and obviously in terms of defense budgets but i don't think they've been necessary or history in any important way since world war two in that article you say that nuclear weapons were not necessary for deterring a third world woold war and it's striking to me that you used the past hands do you think that the prospect for a third world war has vanished by now i would say pretty much yes obviously things can.
